It’s hard to think about summer, but it will be here before we know it.

Save the Date!

Please save the date for the weekend of July 22nd and 23rd, 2023, for the annual Garrett County Artist Studio Tour. The Studio Tour allows you to meet and greet with the talented artists in and around Deep Creek Lake and Garrett County in their studios.

One of my favorite events of the year, my studio will be open and ready with new art.

Below is a sneak peek at an untitled piece that might be on view, provided it does not find a new home beforehand.

Stay tuned to this website and my social media for more details over the coming months.

The Cove

The Cove is a watercolor on canvas and based on scenery around Deep Creek Lake in Garrett County, Maryland. The Cove can be seen hanging currently at the Garrett County Performing Arts Center in McHenry, Maryland.

I’ve started putting together images showing my work hanging in different spaces in order to give you and idea of what these pieces look like on the wall. Below is one I put together with “The Cove.” If you’d like to purchase this artwork, please contact the Garrett County Arts Council.

Look What Was in the Time Capsule

I’ve been a member of the Deep Creek Lake Yacht Club at Turkey Neck for a long time. Twenty-one years ago, a group of members gathered up items and stored them away in a time capsule to open in 2020. After the pandemic delayed the opening by a year, the Club finally cracked it open in August. Much to my surprise, a small piece of my art was inside the capsule. Below is a display they made with some of the items, where you’ll see the small work of art alongside a closer look at the image.
